Dr Stephen N Greenhalgh (MA VetMB PhD MRCVS)

Biography

Background

I qualified as a vet from the University of Cambridge in 2007. After working in mixed practice in Oxfordshire for three years, I briefly returned to the University of Cambridge before undertaking a rotating small animal internship at the Royal Veterinary College (RVC). I then worked as a small animal clinician in medicine at the RVC’s Beaumont Sainsbury Animal Hospital in north London.

I moved to the University of Edinburgh in 2013, initially working at the Dick Vet General Practice before undertaking a Wellcome Trust-funded PhD in the cellular and molecular mechanisms of liver regeneration at the Centre for Inflammation Research, Queen’s Medical Research Institute.

In 2017, I returned to the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies [R(D)SVS] as a Lecturer in Animal Bioscience, working primarily in the Wellcome Trust Critical Care Laboratory for Large Animals (WTCCLLA) and also undertaking a European College of Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia residency programme that I completed in 2021.

Since then, I have continued my role in WTCCLLA and as a clinician in the R(D)SVS. I also co-Chair the Veterinary Ethical Review Committee.

Research summary

My primary role is working with Prof Eddie Clutton (https://www.ed.ac.uk/profile/prof-eddie-clutton) in the Wellcome Critical Care Laboratory for Large Animals.

We develop, refine and utilise large animal models for translational research. Our expertise lies in prolonged anaesthesia and intensive care. We have worked with models of acute kidney injury, acute liver failure, acute lung injury (ARDS), cardiogenic shock, ventricular fibrillation and resuscitation.

I have also published clinical research on management of portosystemic shunts in dogs and hypotension under general anaesthesia in dogs.
